Law doubt

Since the ICAI tests tour knowlege based on the text I dont think you should reed the sections and remember them. Its better to be strong with the provisions that are given under these sections.

I agree with Sudarshan. Nonetheless, there are a lot of concepts which are referred to in Indian Contract Act but are defined in other Acts. For example, the concept of 'goods' which is also referred to in Indian Contract Act, 1872 has not been defined in Indian Contract Act. It is defined in Sec 2(7) of Sale of Goods Act, 1930. Similarly, Indian Partnership Act does not mention anything about the maximum number of partners in a firm. But Sec 11 of Indian Companies Act, 1956 clarifies that if the number of partners in a partnership firm carrying on banking business is more than 10 or carrying on non-banking business is more than 20, it need to register itself as a company, else it will be declared an Illegal association. So in such references, sections are generally not being mentioned. 

Sometimes, an act only directly refers to a term, but it is defined in another Act. In such cases generally the Sections are not mentioned.
